What’s New in SAS/ETS 14.1


SASEFRED Engine

The following features have been added to the SASEFRED engine:

  • Linux X64 (LAX) host support has been added.

  • The PROXY= option specifies a proxy server and port number to use if the connection times out without a proxy server.

  • The RTSTART= and RTEND= options support the real-time periods for FRED data. Because the default is today, it is important to support the range of first to last available (the complete real-time period), in addition to other ranges for which data were available.

  • You can use the URL= option to request the following useful information about categories, tags, groups, and releases:

    • a list of the vintage dates (release dates) for a particular series that is specified in the IDLIST= option

    • a list of the available series for a particular release or for a specified source, tag name, or category ID

    • a list of available sources for today’s date

    • a list of the categories available for a specified series ID

  • Blanks are now allowed in pathnames that are used in the options for SASEFRED.

  • The DEBUG=ON option logs diagnostics in the SAS log.
